Recipe View Step 5: Assemble the Enchiladas (25 minutes) - Dip one tortilla into the enchilada sauce mixture, ensuring it's lightly coated, and place it in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat this process, arranging the dipped tortillas to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread half of the marinated chicken mixture evenly over the layer of dipped tortillas. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded queso asadero over the chicken layer. Dip more tortillas in the enchilada sauce mixture and arrange them over the queso asadero layer. Spoon 2 to 3 spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce mixture over this tortilla layer. Repeat the layering process with the remaining chicken and another one-third of the queso asadero, finishing with a final layer of dipped tortillas. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce mixture evenly over the top layer of tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the queso asadero over the enchiladas.

Recipe View Step 7: Cool and serve (10 minutes) - Let the enchiladas cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey-lime marinade.
If you don't have queso asadero, Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend will work well as a substitute.
To prevent tortillas from tearing, lightly warm them in a dry skillet or microwave before dipping.
